With that kind of money,,You can really do well finding great subs and an amp to bang with from the classifieds to browse through..see what interest you,and ask the seller questions about the item.You putting those subs inthe civic???Hatch,or fold up seats??My integra 93 hatch with 2 tens at a 2ohm load with about 400rms oldschool watts hitts pretty hard.Seems to be a good choice for my needs..some say underground subs,but, i havent searched yet,but do have an interest.But browse through and look at whats up and check them out/ask about??

yeah maybe my civic and coupe ex but i might be getting a nissan altima if everything looks good one it gotta get it fixed but it would be nicer. more room for a system. my old school directed hit hard with my directed 15s and then i got the w7 13 with a zx1500.1 kicker, **** was a little to much lol. put the jls in there bc they were sitting in my spare room and like theres nothing really there well not nothing but from what i had before lol. i heard the skars hit pretty low but get hot fast.i would ask the sellers but i would they are just trying to sell me them ya know?

I think honda is a better made car,and runs better also.My 240sx 90yr, was alrt,but the acura 93 integra/honda,prob most dependable car i have ever owned man..I have an 18 1200 rms sub,not sure what im gonna do with.I have never had,or used one up until now.Scars???Man..i know nothing about,i havent even looked at one yet..Prob got a nice tag to go with them too.I am just an everyday banger,not a comp guy.I have found my subs after buying several kinds/blowing due to not handling the rms rated/not even close!!! I tell you what though..I put a 2150 USA US Acoustics on a Cerwin Vega Stroker in a simple super bass pro box..WOW that thing was banging!! I like that sub!!(12)2 would be nice for sure????Even that 12 MoJo on the Autotek 66mean was pretty impressive!!Subs I have were discontinued/pulled of the market???Sure would like another pair.

yeah skars not even a review on here couple ppl selling a couple right after they bought them say they hit hard buy why selling so soon and why nobody wants them makes me wonder.... anyways let me know if you got any suggestions i like lows. maybe i should throw thoses w3v3s in a different box i got a couple see if maybe the lows hit a bit better

I will browse the internet in a bit,and see what i can find.Oh ya different box would prob make a big diff. 3/4 mdf built box ported would be ideal for sub specs.. maybe around 125 or so??Only box id buy/Pro box, other than that...id build one,or have one built to specs..Though

yeah i just dont want to waste money on that and then still get some other subs and another box for nothing

lol, i highly doubt that 66 was only giving you 66watts..... remember the term "cheater", just like the pre-99 usamps, orions, ande a plethora of others. there was even a soundstream rated at 1/4wattrmsx2, yet would actually crank over 1k, iirc don't remember the exact numbers. yes, you can still get strokers if you keep your eye out, and i even remember seeing parts to rebuild them. by far only decent pre-fab enclosure that didn't start to cap output at higher levels i have seen and run is an obcon godzilla. 146.6 with 2 crossfire bmf-10's....from like '02, 03?.....still got the thing, but one broke the cone in half, so i'm going to eventually stuff my perfects in there and see what happens.... anywhoo, have a box designed for the subs, and keep reading up on how to fine tune the amp, and make sure it's not just in need of tune..... the subs should be fine for what you want

 

[assassin1840 10+ year member]

well im thinking it might be just the box i believe i have it tuned pretty good ill let you guys know what have it set to and see what you guys think but i believe its just a prefab box thats not working good i got a ported box and i will see if it sounds better and hits the low notes like i want. if it sounds better i will get a box built for them but akeathen you say they can handle 400 rms... read one guy saying he has 800rms to each but idk about that.

ur system will never be wat u expected till you go deaf....ive been through three sets of subs and about 5 different amps all increasing in RMS and I still feel like it sounds like ****....even though all my friends tell me my system is the best they heard in a while...

 

[assassin1840 10+ year member]

idk the w7 on the kicker 1500 was pushing 1100 and that was way to much and the 500 is not enough so i think 800 or so would be perfect but i want subs that can hit very low notes and hard

 

[assassin1840 10+ year member]

so i looked on ebay for that camero box and **** i think i found one that looks just like it and the chamber per sub is only .75 cubit ft ****. its ******* the bass out of them thought they were more so im going to put them in one of my bigger boxes and see how it sounds and if it hits deeper which they should i will prolly get a box built for them maybe idk maybe get better speakers that can do 500-600 rms easy each maybe more
